Louis Leung
Thanks Gary. 🙂

Spanjaard
impressive with the lighting . I do not see the lighting strip in the Anahalo website, it a new product not yet for sale?

Starbase101
This looks fantastic! Which brand of light strip are you using?

Louis Leung
Thanks Spanjaard. Yes, it is a new items and under testing stage now. We expect to launch it a few weeks later, hopefully before X'mas. 🙂

Louis Leung
Thanks Starbase. The light strip are testing units from amaHalo, and expect to be launched in coming weeks. Please feel free to visit : amahalo.com/ 🙂

Spanjaard
let us know when available please 😉

Louis Leung
Thanks Spanjaard. Sure. will do. 🙂

Starbase101
Nicely done, but just curious what are all the copper "coils" for behind each of the LEDs?

Louis Leung
Thanks Starbase101. They are the inductive LED modules. The display base under DeLorean delivers electromagnetic power to the coils and light up the LEDs. As a result, no battery or soldering is needed, I can easily add LEDs just like assembling the model parts. You can find more info at amahalo.com

Starbase101
Interesting idea, but a bit pricey for each LED. I expect some "serious sh*t" happens when they reach 88 volts.... 😎

I'll just put power cells under the hood when building mine.

Michael Kohl
Iconic. The lighting lifts it to the next level.

Spanjaard

. SDR Piloten Christof Motti, painted him up, and slapped him in, basically just the stock pilot, with the Super Jerry blind cockpit gear, added cables, may have to sand his butt down, as you can't see much of the poor swine, when he's sealed in his walking coffin. That'll do for today.

Nathan Dempsey
Your pilot is looking great. Following 👀

On to the legs of the Jerry Heavy Super Armored Fighting Suit. Now, the newer WAVE release has the shorter foot with cleaner details, but the old NITTO release has the longer but softer detailed foot, as it's a chicken walker essentially, I'm after stability, so I'm going to sacrifice detail for a solid stance.

Ian Doody
Chicken walker Ma.k, I dig it. I really like this design. Mines a super heavy Gigant Floh, armed with anti-air rockets, anti personnel machine gun, and a recoilless rifle. Bad ass.

Ian Doody
That's me done for the day, added seatbelts. And the side bubble windows, built both legs, looking good so far. I'll be building this in the classic white wash and orange camo scheme.

Dash Rendar
Great job so far, looking awesome!

Ian Doody
Added the recoilless rifle as a dry fit mock up of the chin. Looks really nice all glued up, looks really angry with the solid hood, but you can see more of the pilot though with the blown glass hood... Hmm 🤔

Ian Doody
That's where I am today, still very much a WIP. I'm working my way around it, adding extra armor, smoke launchers, it's going to be very busy, but it should look pretty awesome.

Ian Doody
I've added radiator details to the underside of the rear engine bay, and an armored cover for the large rear vent.

Ian Doody
That's it for today, getting there. Just a dry fit of parts added drooping wiring to the under engine area, I'll change the mounts of the rockets, to make them more dynamic, cockpit enclosed forever, adding small nuts and bolts, pretty happy with it so far.

Ian Doody
After adding a cast texture to the whole main body, the start of the winter white wash camo on the Gigant Floh. Rust washes next, then grey wash, then white. Still have a fair few details and wiring still to add. Sort out the rocket launchers fit, aerials, armour plates nuts and bolts.

Ben M
I have no idea what this is, but it looks cool.

shadowlight
Nice work! How did you made the cast texture?

Ian Doody
@shadowlight, I used Ammo putty, brushed on and stippled with some sponge.

shadowlight
Thank you!
